I bought a factory-refurbished Epson Stylus R300 printer a while back primarily because it is able to print directly onto CDs and DVDs, which is much nicer than using paper labels or a Sharpie. Up until now I’ve been using the supplied Windows software to do that (using my computer at work, I don’t run Windows at home).
David Turner has written up instructions for printing onto CDs from Linux, using GIMP and the Gimp plugin by Akkana Peck.
I just bought a factory-refurbished R320, mostly for the ink cartridges. It was $79, but there is a $50 mail-in rebate, so I got a set of ink cartridges for $29 and a spare printer. Too bad the rebate is limited to one per household, or I’d have bought several.
Sorry to take so long in responding to this..
I’m glad the tutorial was helpful to you & I hope it help’s your readers too.
It’s a shame that you don’t live in the U.K ,as I can get a full set of inks for my R300 now for about £11.00. Not the Epson one’s mind you, but they’re definetly good enough for everyday photo printing
